What's YOUR Level of Artistic DETAIL? - Drawing 5 Different Detailed Horses 

On a scale from 1 to 5, what’s your level?!

It’s so wild seeing you do realism, it feels somehow illegal

i think it wouldve been hilarious if you added a 'level 6' but its just a photo of a horse

Jacob Drawfee better hold onto his wig with this one!

i love horse no. 1 so much he's just a little guy. just vibing there in all his glory and roundness

that circle fail was SUCH a mood

Horse number 2 kind of stole my heart 😅

#1 is the best, its actually hard to draw something that simple and have it still look like what it is supposed to be

i love how many attempts it took to draw the body of the first horse, it’s so real. but i want to see an episode of my little pony or something in that style so bad it’s so cute.

I'm derp level. If anyone tries to say you can only draw cartoons, show them this. I think the #5 horse looks fantastic. I'm impressed by your skillz. Horses aren't easy to draw realistically and you made it look so damn easy. So...grr. 😆😛

The missing blood splatters made it impossible for me to figure out the level of your art.

They're all SO GOOD. But #1 has my heart. I just love a goofy lil guy.

I think the realistic horse’s muzzle is absolutely adorable though, with his little derpy smirk

I would love to see you draw 100 horses in increasing detail! I never see anyone draw horses anymore, I would love to see more horse drawings sometime!

I have a theory, based on you expressing that you were a 2.5, that the reason I'm the most fond of 3 is because that's the level where you're most yourself and when you're making art in a style that's true to who you are, you're more likely to excel at it. They were all good pictures, but 3 is the one that stood out to me as the best. This was a cool concept for a video. I hope other artists make videos with this idea because it would be interesting to see how each different artist approaches this idea.

In 2017 at the age of 62 I did my first painting. I had never had art lessons. Someone wanted to purchase it!!! I then did 15 commissions in a row. I became frustrated because I felt I didn’t know how to properly paint. I doubted myself, so I stopped doing commissions and then stopped painting. People seemed to appreciate my style but I couldn’t embrace it. I stopped watching all painting RU-vidrs except Baylee Jae and you!!!!!! You stayed on the list because I absolutely love your style. The cats, the ant, all of it!!! Please don’t change because you are great!!!!

I think when I draw I fall into the 3.5 category. Your level 2 is too perfect.

The cat hair on your iPad is too relatable. My iPad and all my traditional art has at least one cat hair somewhere. As I type this there is one on the bottom right of my screen.

I think context matters sometimes. Each of these is lovely and are appreciable on their own.

Say neigh to naming the parts in level 4 - the highly advanced ones sure came out awesome - but do I prefer them? Nope I don't haha... I'm a simple kinda guy and love the cartoony ones of yours that make me smile and fuzzy

ive never seen kasey draw so realistically and it's amazing as expected

Seeing you do realism feels surreal which is odd to say. Btw, the struggle of drawing a circle is so real, I could not stop laughing.

Now I’m dying for a video of the styles in between those (1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5) and then a print of this!!!

My artstyle is the stylization of lvl 3 with the shading of level five ^^' I absolutely adore your art, I really wish I could make mine as ~shapey~ as yours sometimes. Also, your realism looks amazing, especially with a HORSE (which is famously the hardest animal to draw)

Level 2 is around my level of detail and pretty similar to my overall art style, however I make cartoony backgrounds and landscapes quite often that gives the drawing more world and I love doing it in simple looking stylized art like this People often say or think less detailed art is less valuable and "easy" but it's very fun to make and with enough time you can build entire worlds in just a few art pieces

They’re all impressive in their own way. The level 1 kinda shows how much can be communicated with very little information which I find fascinating

This video is such a parallel to my sculpting adventure where I’m going from realism and broadening to include different levels of stylization! Like, just play this in reverse and that’s my sculpting journey 🤣 It was so cool to see someone else document their journey!

These all looked wonderful!!💖💖💖🐴🐎🐎💖💖💖

Ok but WHY ARE ALL OF THESE THIS GOOD I love every single one of these drawings so much like, seriously I'm so so impressed by your anatomy skills

This goes for all your videos but especially ones like this - I love your editing style! The doodles, the fonts, the format, it all feels intentional, cohesive, and charming.

Haven't watched for a while, but this is EXACTLY my thing. Always love to see you draw something a little more complex. More to my interests.

You're much better at realism than I am. Whenever I try to draw myself realistically I look like I aged 40 years lmao.

I love them all!!! I feel like I tend to play in the 3.75 range for the most part

for me it's deff a 5. I love digital painting, it's basicly what I do. I think your's turned out quite good!

Legend has it she's still drawing that first circle to this very day.

The level 1 horse is my favourite!

I think 3 is my level, and 4 as my “realistic as possible”. Awesome video, as always! ❤❤ Video idea: draw your followers pets as you drew the first one! Would be so fun to see. ❤

I love the level 2 horse so much

This was Amazing! I really love the level 5 horse! And I'll have to say I'm about at level 4. 😁

I love all of the styles! And its so impressive that you can go so far from one end to the other, this video is a great example of how to work with simple vs complex shapes and an exercise I definitely want to try!

I love all five! ❤ I’d also love it if you did more videos with this idea! You are great at different levels of stylization.

Mine is probably 4 or 5. Also this video was so much fun to watch❤

I love the black underdrawing for level 5 the most! it looks like a very graphic stamp

Very fun to see such a different art style from you. Turned out great. Number 3 is my fav though :P

loving 2 and 4

Thanks this is so helpful to figure out a style you like! I'm only good at realism but the style I really love is around 2 so I really want to move in that direction 😊👌

this is an incredible showcase of your illustration skills

New to your channel as a shoer, owner and rider and I am pleasantly surprised.

I think I could do level 1 :D

Cute horses! You slayed drawing the realistic horse too!❤

The first horse is definitely my favourite , they’re all great though ❤ my level would probably be around 3 though

I loved this video, hoping to see more

Great video!

lvl 4 & 5 are my favs

quite exciting to see you doing such a different style! :0

I think I'm probably about a 3.5 🤔 stylised art is so fun to create 🥰

I think I'm right around #2. Great vid! sina pona 😄

Yeah somewhere between #2 & #3 looks good to me. I've never worried about realism. I tried with animals when I was younger. I could do it, but didn't enjoy it as much as drawing in a cartoony style. Doesn't stop people from telling me that I could draw something really well if I'd just take the time to put more effort into it. LOL

this is a banger kasey! would love to see a bunch of different critters in the super simple style :0 might even make a cool poster all put together!

Good challenge I’ll have to try this too❤

Thank you for this video, I have been trying to draw a horse and have no idea how and its been haunting me for WEEKS

I think all of these look lovely! I tend to draw the most like 4, so I suppose that's my level of detail.

the “watercolor wonder” set by bardot brush is amazing!!

Your art is so beautiful! I think my art is somewhere between 3-4

I tend to draw around level 4. I do try to simplify and exaggerate shapes sometimes, but I tend towards somewhat realistic proportions

I honestly think I'm a 1,5 in my art. Love drawing simple, stylised, silly little guys hehe!! This video was so fun!

Honestly, considering I've never seen realistic art from you before, that's a pretty good horse

Yeah I'm definitely in the 4 style range. It's more fun than way! I can add a lots detail but still fudge something to mesh better with my style

I devolved from drawing individual gauges on instrument clusters to just wildly sketching on the page until something stuck. My main style doesn't even have an outlining layer. I just never remove the sketch, and cel shade it like a 1920s art deco poster.

I think a 3.2 is my most preferred style

im a semi realistic lover so my level of detail is definitely somewhere in the pool between 4 and 5+ but i love level 1 and 2 they are so coot

Horses two and three are my favorites. I think horse 2.5 needs to exist.

Personally, I think I’m at a 3.5!! These all looks amazing btw!! And I agree with the comment saying you drawing realistically feels illegal, I’ve loved your art and style for years😭🩷

My usual art style is probably more of a 3.5 or 4... sometimes a 5 because I have to be extra about everything. I'd love to get comfortable with more stylized or cartoony art styles. I've always admired the skill it takes to make those bold stylistic choices. (Also, I'd get a lot more done if I didn't spend literal days to finish painting and shading everything 😩)

I'm more of a 4 and/or 5. There are some days my art looks like a 3. Though, I got to say...I cannot draw cute things at all. So 1 is something I could never do. Drawing semi-realistic is something that's oddly set in my brain, then I worked hard in learning it better. Took me the better part of my life to figure out how to draw it properly on the computer verses pencil/pen on paper. There's so many things I would love to give you tips on. But that's just me haha! Though, I do love to see artist create things outside their comfort zone!

I think I go at 4.5. I draw with a stylized art style for drawing up a figure but I go HAM on rendering. And I never really know what I'm doing.

This is super great video expressed by a super great sentence 😂. But it is a great video. ❤ It makes me think and appreciate more what I, and others, might be trying to achieve in terms of drawing an object beyond abstract, impressionism, and other such styles. I am super impressed with your last drawing. I would love to see this process with other drawings because then you get to stretch and I get a super great video (and super great English sentences 😊). Somehow this video speaks to me more than draw something in less and less amounts of time. The time pressure somehow is not helpful to me because I get distracted by the time while this as an exercise seems like I get to do the same type of thing without getting distracted by pressure. I guess maybe if someone else would time me, it might help, but then you do not get to finish the drawings and look at the cuteness that you might miss out on if you are as good as Kasey Golden ❤. Love this video, clearly 😊. Love that it is family friendly. Your content usually makes me smile, but sometimes blush and I can watch this video in any environment without blushing, which is a great thing.

I'm like a 4.4, which I did not expect. My shading style is actually more complex than the level 5, but I still use linework, thus I placed it a little below

I FORGOT UR CHANNEL AND FINALLY REMEMBERED IT COS OF THAT LITTLE BLUE GUY. UUSED TO DRAW. ITS 2:13AM LOVE FROM LONDONNNNNN

This is a fantastic video. You should do this same challenge with your Original characters, mainly because I REALLY want to see a realistic Hatch. @KaseyTheGolden

I need to do this to practice the lower numbers. I struggle with anything between stock figures and attempted photo realism

I'm not sure why but I enjoyed u trying to make a circle a lotttttt I related so hard with that one

#4 and #5 felt like were painted by Nega-Kasey

I am a straight 4 most of the time. I like the small but noticeable gap between realistic and comic. Or as you said, drawing as accurate as possible without losing the stylization aspect of a comic medium!

omg i love this

Choosing to draw a horse of all things 5 different times is absolutely wild to me, it’s like drawing a realistic motorcycle or an architectural diagram

Man these were all pretty great! I think I'd say I'm a 4 - 4.25 when it comes to style

Thank you for showing your struggle to draw a circle 😊 makes me feel more normal.

I draw in between your 4 and 5 horse. Although, the only horse I've drawn recently was a white unicorn in a multimedia piece in the most realistic style I could achieve with alcohol markers. In my artwork, it's on a separate piece of paper standing in front of an actual, printed photograph of a forest, which I extended the scenery of beyond the photo with gouache. It's like a portal to a fantasy world! ✨🐴✨

“Little lines for fur, spots… splatters of blood…”

This was oretty cool to see! (Subsribed now.) Your art skills are very impressive and its so cool to watch the art process. Motivating too. Makes me want to try this challenge partially. I prinarily draw dogs, carroon dogs. (Style inspired by PAW Patrol. Perfect place to learn how to draw.) I mostly draw with a mouse on firealpaca so im not sure how well this challenge would turn out, but I'll think on it. Have other art ideas right now for the time being.

there should definitely be another step between 3 and 4

1 is my favorite

Can I do this too on my channel? It looks so fun! Obviously I’d credit you for the idea

Now I just want to see a herd of horses by you ;-;

interesting as it changes

what kind of brush did you use on the first two? i love it!

I'd say I'm in a 3.5 range. I like to have the realistic anatomy, but there's so many features of the face, as well as some 'cloppiness' I love to add (particularly with horses, and it applies to other animals too. I mainly draw animals)

what brush did you use in this video for the horses? i love the way it looks :)

Quick question: what brush did you use for sketching and what one for inking here? Love the video btw :)
